It looks as if there’s about to be a new war in LED-backlit LCD panels with Acer coming out launching its own eco-friendly unit the day after Samsung launched a sweep of new eco-friendly models.
Taiwanese maker Acer has launched the next in its S3 series with the 27-inch S273HL monitor, featuring LED-backlighting and 1920×1080-pixel resolution.
The new monitor features two HDMI inputs, a dynamic contrast ratio of 12million to one (12M:1) and a response time of two milliseconds (2ms).
By not using traditional CCFL (cold compact fluorescent lamp) lighting, Acer claims power consumption is reduced by up to 68% through the use of white LEDs (light-emitting diodes).
The S273HL is covered by Acer’s Zero bright dot pixel policy and is only 21mm thick.
No images have been released nor details announced about availability or pricing at this stage.
